Data Sources

• Tech Stack Detector -- Website technology identification including frameworks, CDNs, analytics, payment processors, and hosting

How the scoring works

Five scoring dimensions combine into the Competitive Digital Posture Score.

Technology Investment Trajectory compares current tech stack against historical snapshots from Wayback Machine. Modernizing stacks (adopting newer frameworks, CDNs, analytics) indicate investment; stagnating stacks indicate underinvestment.

Digital Market Position Score combines SERP rankings, pricing position relative to competitors, and reputation composite into a market position assessment.

Reputation Momentum analyzes review sentiment trends across Trustpilot and multi-platform review sources. Rising review scores with increasing volume indicate positive momentum; declining scores signal reputation risk.

Digital Quality Index measures WCAG accessibility compliance, technology modernity (current vs outdated frameworks), and performance indicators as proxies for engineering investment.

Competitive Digital Posture Score (0-100) weighted composite:

Score Range	Level	Interpretation
80-100	DOMINANT	Leading digital presence across all dimensions
60-79	STRONG	Above-average digital competitive position
40-59	AVERAGE	Competitive but with improvement opportunities
20-39	WEAK	Below-average digital presence, significant gaps
0-19	VULNERABLE	Poor digital posture, urgent modernization needed
